Muscle and liver cells may retain benefits of past exercise
Research suggests muscle and liver cells retain a memory of exercise after training stops. This may help people regain fitness faster when they return to exercise.

Their muscle cells also matched energy production to demand more effectively, and this ability remained during inactivity.
The researchers say liver cells also store exercise memories and release enzymes that help supply fuel to working muscles.
